Gonorrhea—Frequently Unrecognized Reservoirs

Authors: HARRY PARISER, MD, A. F. MARINO

Abstract

Gonorrhea is most difficult to control because it may be asymptomatic in the presence of infectiousness. The authors' studies show a not inconsiderable incidence of gonorrhea in asymptomatic patients, both male and female. Gonococcal proctitis is not uncommon in women and homosexual males. Cultures should be made on all asymptomatic contacts of known patients having gonorrhea.
